In your editorial “Mike Pompeo’s Iran File” (Nov. 22) about Mike Pompeo’s nomination to lead the CIA and the Iranian nuclear deal, you raise “the larger question of how the incoming Administration should treat the nuclear deal.” The answer is simple: Present it to the Senate for a ratification vote. This would restore the Senate’s constitutional role in treaty-making and force Democrats, including Sen. Chuck Schumer, to go on record. When the vote fails, President Trump can withdraw with broad and bipartisan Senate backing.
